ON Delbert DHMOW of Greenwood, Crated with Jealousy, Attack* Couple on Green­ wood Road Sanday Evening. "* This community wss the scene of a very exciting time when the news was spread throughout the entire county that Chas. Peet and Miss Lena Harri­ son Lad been the victims of bullets fired from a pistol in the hands of Delbert Dassow, a young farmer boy from Greenwood. Sunday evening Miss Lena Harrison, in company With Charles Peet, drove to Greenwood, where they attended church services. Immediately after the ser­ vices the young couple started on their homeward journey, little thinking they wonld be molested by Dassow, whom they had seen at church. When within about a mile of Miss Harrison's home they were suddenly startled by someone driving behind them at a furious s|>eed. They were at this time near the farm of Mr. Wheeler and were about to pull into his yard when they were cut off by the carriage, they at once recognizing young Dassow as the driver. Dassow pulled»up close to his rival's rig, who at once stopped his horse, asking Dassow what he wanted. White with anger, Dassow demanded of Miss Harrison that she leave Peet's buggy and get into his. This she refused to do. Dassow at once reached into his pocket, bringing forth a shining pistol. Peet, seeing the great danger the girl was < in, threw himself in front of her. Sooner than it could be told, Dassow had pulled the trigger of the pistol, the bullet striking M r. Peet about two inchel below the shoulder,, passing ont under his arm. The victim fell back into the seat. Another shot, and Miss Harrison had received the second charge, the bullet passing through her hand, which she had thrown up to her face, going through her cheek and breaking off one tooth. Thinking his work well done, Dassow whipped up his horse and up the road he went. The victims drove into the farm yard of Mr. Hall, where they were at once cared for. Dr. Hepburn of Ringwood was summoned and dressed the wounds of the two unfortunates, who are at this writing getting along nioely. Chas. Stephenson, the constable at Ringwood, was at once notified, but the young desperado had made his es­ cape, his horse being fonnd only a few rods from the scene of the shooting, tied to a telephone pole. A posse of about sixty farmers, well armed, went out in search of the gnilty one, searching the woods and fields for miles aronnd, but up to the time of this writing, have been unsuccessful in locating him, but it will not be long be­ fore he will be lodged behind the bars, as skilled detectives are after him. Both tbe young victims are esteemed most highly by everyone and tbe story of their Sunday night's experience comes as a sad blow to the large circle of relatives and friends. Miss Harrison is the daughter of Geo, ^Harrison, who resides about one and one-half miles west of Smith's corners.. Chas. Peet is a faithful farm hand in the employ of Chas. Harrison, who resides near Ring- wood. t ' • " THINK MAN DROWNED. FATHER GETS SON. DrtfM-to Ciutrter Grove and Takea Boy From School. WEDDINC BELLS AGAIN Woodstock Man Is Missing Since Sanday --Mo Trace of Him as Vet. Where is Canute H. Lee? This is the question that is pussling relatives and friends of C. H. Lee of Woodstock. Mr. Lee, with a party of friends, had beencamping at McCollum's lake, and since Sunday has been miss­ ing. His boat was found floating on the lake by one of his friends, bnt up to the present time no trace has been found of him. Acting on the supposition that the man has been drowned, a searching party composed of Elgin, Woodstock and McHenry men has been dragging the lake, but to no avail. It is believed by some that the man has wandered away during a fit of temporary aberra­ tion and a land hunt ieualso on. Mr. Lee is a well known business man of Woodstock, being proprietor of a blacksmith shop in tbat city, and has two men working for him. He is also a member of tbe local order of Elks at Elgin, where he is widely known and has many friends. Sew Hnrdware Store, John J. Vycital of Racine, 'Wt8., has rented the store-building recently va­ cated by Osmun Bros, and will conduct therein a first-class hardware store.

He will put in an entirely new stock of goods, complete in every respect, and will undoubtedly be open and ready for business some time next week. ;:;r" Central Opera Honafe< . . .

Cormack, accompanied by one nnkown, drove to Qharter Grove, DeKalb county, 111., last Wednesday afternoon and brought home with him his son, who has been in the custody of his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Thom­ as Marshall. By request of the deceased Mrs. Cor­ mack, Rev. uormack, in company with Mrs. Mary Earnst, an aunt on i ts moth­ er's side, went to the Presbyterian hos­ pital and got the child when it was sev en weeks old, taking it to the latter's home, from which place the grandpar­ ents got the child, without Mr. Cor­ mack's knowledge thereof/ Mr. Cormack went to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Marshall at sev­ eral different times demanding the child, but without avail, but was given the promise of thtf child if he was married again. After his secoud marriage, he again went to the grandparents with tbe intention of getttng the child, but the Marshalls refused to give up the boy. Mr. Cormack was very fond of the little boy and when he was refused him after his second marriage,- he at once began court proceedings td redeem the child, spending a large sum of money for this purpose. We herewith give an excerpt f rom the decision of the 'supreme oonrt last fall: '^jSo far as the socfal and moral titness of either of these parties is concerned, for the care of the child, there would seem to be no question, and the record sufficiently shows that all concerned are attached to tbe child, and if the record were open to our consideration and we felt free to act upon the facts, we would have no hesitation in holding that this father is entitled to the custody of his c h i l d . « » * * * * "It is now with some reluctance that we declare our conclusion that we are unable to consider the case on its merits. We regard the rights of the parent as superior to those of any' other person, whcji that parent is a fit person to have the custody of children and is so circumstanced that he can provide the necessaries of life and administer to the requirements of such a charge. The mere fact that some other person may have more money or property in any form is not one that appeals to us. The divine injunction to multiply and re­ plenish the-species was not confined to the rich, nor was it intended that the poor should beget the children and the rich should rear them. To recognize such doctrine would be little less than ^monstrous, and would be in utter dis­ regard to those natural instincts of love and care and interest found in the breast of the parent. And while it isr said in the books that the interest of the child is the controlling question, it is not meant thereby to say that the fi nancial interests only of £be child shall predominate. The courts can not be un­ mindful of tbe great fact standing prom­ inently in all our biographies and his­ tories that the greater number of men and women of real worth in our nation and throughout the world have come up through circumstances that required a struggle upon the part of their parents and themselves to make them what they were. While the financial inWresfe of the child are hot to be disregarded, they are, likewise, not to be controlling. Neither the day laborer nor the minis­ ter of the gospel is to be discriminated against the consideratian of this one of the highest of natural rights with which man is endowed merely because of the wealth of those who are contend­ ing against him. Until it becomes con­ trary to law that people in poor or mod­ erate circumstances shall produce chil­ dren, tbe court must recognize and en­ force the sacred rights and the legal rights they have to their custody, con­ trol and society." Ever since last fall Mr. Cormack*s on­ ly thought has been to have the boy. He was so much taken up with this one thought that he could stand it no long­ er, and almost driven to insanity he last Wednesday morning procured an auto and driver and took the boy from the school he was attending near Charter Grove, bringing him to his home in Mc­ Henry. The.boy seemed perfectly satis­ fied, Mr. and Mrs. Cormack making everything as pleasant as could be for him. Fearing the grandfather would re take the child Mr. Cormack and son left McHenry last Thursday forenoon for parts unknown.

Two weddings of more than ordinary interest to the young people of McHen­ ry and surrounding country took place in McHenry this week. On Wednesday morning at half past nine o'clock, at St. Mary's German Catholic church, occurred the marriage of Miss Barbara Worth of Waukegan and Mr. Fred Huemann of McHenry, the ceremony being performed by Rev. M. W. Barth, pastor of the church. • Promptly at 9:30 o'clock the young couple, attended by Misses Worth and Huemann, sisters of the bride and groom, and N. A. Huemann and Joseph Freund, the latter of Chicago, marched to the altar to the strains of the wed­ ding march, where the words were spoken that made them man and Wife. Solemn high mass was celebrated in their honor, after which the young couple, accompanied by a number ot relatives and friends, repaired to the farm home of the groom*,̂ where a Hump tuouB wedding breakfast was awaiting them. The young couple received many useful and beautiful presents, which were left by those who had come to spend the day with them. The bride is a handsome young lady, a native of Waukegan, in which ci# she has successfully conducted a milli­ nery store during the past several years. Although Mrs. Huemann is not widely known about thiB section Bhe has al­ ready made numerous friends in and around McHenry, whom she has met during her visits hero. She is well worthy of the oompapion Bhe has chosen as a helpmate. Mr. Huemann is the son of our esti­ mable townspeople, Mr. and Mrs. John Huemann. He is one of our most enter­ prising young farmers, and is possessed of extensive business ability. He has had charge of his father's farm ever since the latter moved to town, and this the young couple will nkake their future home, going to housekeeping at once* Congratulations are extended by the entire community. % WOLFF-WEBER.

SCHOOL DAYS OVER. Twq ' Oniaate From McH«*>y High School Thursday. McHenry and Huntley In Tie for Tfelltl Honors. The McHenry county field meet, held at the fair grounds, Woodstock, last Saturday was the most successful event ever held under the auspices of the Mc Henry County Athletic association. AL, though no records were broken the events of the day were hotly contested and were very interesting to the large crowd of spectators. Woodstock carried off the banner in a walk, scoring ninety-Beven points, or nearly twice as many points as were scored by the rest of the schools oom biued. Second honors were captured by Marengo, who secured thirty-seven points. ' McHenry and Huntley were tied for third place, each scoring seven points. For McHenry Wheeler proved the star, be making five of the seven points. He won ont eafeily in the half- mile run, finishing at least fifty yards ahead of the second man. Thomas also ran a good race in the same run, finish­ ing a close third. Gilbert McOmber, in the half-mile bicycle race for fonr- teen-year-olds, took third place after a good'ride. Woodstock, of course, has a great advantage over the other schools of the connty in these meets, being able to put a larger number of representatives into the events. The Harvard, Hebron and Richmond schools had no contestants in the field. The McHenry school has thus gained one point over last year, and are bound to come to front. This is McHenry's second year, only, in active athletics, and each year will develop the boys more and more; and next year we hope to be able to report a very great stride athletics in our school. Just look out, neighoors, the McHenry boys are not dead yet, and they may show you a thing or two yet. 8hort Jaunts for Busy People is the name of an illustrated folded con­ taining an excellent map and many in­ teresting and helpful facts about hun­ dreds of charming nearby resorts reach­ ed by the North-Western Line.

The commencement exercises were held at the Central opera house, and one of the largest audiencas that had ever witnessed commencement exercises in McHenry had gathered to listen to the evening's program, which proved to be very interesting. The program was carried ont exactly as it had been previously announced, asid it was very much enjoyed by the audience. The stage was beautifully decorated with shrubs and ilowering plants of rare beauty, and the whole of the stage setting, under the soft glow of the eleclric light, was extremely pleasing. _ Owing to lack of space we cannot comment on each number of the program. Suffice to say that each and every one of the participants did his or her part perfectly. But we cannot refrain from making special mention of the address delivered' by Dr. John W. Cook. Dr. Cook is an able speaker and alwayB keeps his audience well interest­ ed. He in no way disappointed his hearers on this evening. The past year has been a most suc­ cessful one for our public school, and under the careful and masterly super­ vision of Prof. E. C. Fisher has reached a place second to none in the county, a fact which is greatly appreciated by the members of the board of education and our citizens in general. Mr. Fisher has been engaged for another year, which means that the good work will go on, and by the close of the next term of school we confidently expect to see a still greater progress. We must also congratulate the school board on their good judgment in retaining the man who has brought our' school up to its present high standing, and bespeak for the people that their actions are ap­ proved of by every broad minded citizen concerned.
